Chapter 26 Champions League Qualifiers (Favorites, Recommendations)

On August 9, 2006, in the third round of the 06/07 Champions League qualifiers, Lille "home" against Macedonia's Leberniki. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

It was a game of strength and weakness, and Macedonia was a modest player on the European football map, with Lebernicki being founded in 1937 and being a powerhouse in the Macedonian First Division, but its strength in France was the equivalent of the mid-table side of Ligue 2.

Liebernicki is very self-aware, after the opening all the players cowered in their own half of the defense, when the Lille team attacked, Liebernici's formation simply became "9-0-1", except for leaving a striker in the front field waiting for the opportunity to counterattack, the away team of 9 players all participated in the defense, the 30-meter area in front of the goal was full of defenders, trying to hold the first half.

The strong and weak duel, it is inevitable to encounter this kind of intensive defense in the half, breaking the dense defense is a worldwide problem, so there are many targeted arrangements.

The core of all arrangements is to use your own advantages and maximize them in the way you do best:

For example, the advantage of size, then it is high-altitude bombing, even if the header can't be scored, it can cause chaos in the penalty area;

For example, the offensive routine, then it is a strong burst of set-pieces, penalty kicks, free kicks and corner kicks are all offensive routines with a relatively high goal rate in football, and ignore the dense defense;

For example, teamwork, then it is patient control, change the rhythm, and mobilize the opponent's back line to find a breakthrough;

For example, personal ability, then it is a long-range shot in front of the penalty area, and a powerful long-range shot can help break the will of the defender and can also cause chaos in the penalty area;

And, of course, the whole team running, exhausting the opponent with physical strength and getting a chance in the final stages of the game.

As for which is the most effective, there is no conclusion at present, mainly depending on the lineup configuration of the two sides and the technical characteristics of the players.

And the Lille team used the most brainless one, with a high ball from the side to hang the penalty area and bomb from the sky.

This is because the two defenders of the Lebernicki team are one 178cm and the other is 180cm, while the Lille team Foweguet is 191cm tall, as well as a strong body and excellent bounce, although the technique is average, it is still a clear advantage to put it in the penalty area to grab a header.

Forwege, who started the game, lived up to expectations, relying on his height of 191cm and excellent bounce, stirring up the danger in the away team's penalty area, and the Leberniki team resisted for 20 minutes, and Foweguet received a cross from right-back Stefan Lichsteiner and scored with a header, 1:0

After that, it was all too simple, and being scored meant that the dense defence was no longer working, and the visiting head coach saw that the bucket formation was no longer working, and began to move his troops forward, pressing forward in an attempt to regain control of the midfield.

However, the midfield barrier of Cabaye and Dumont was too strong, and instead of regaining the lost ground, Bodmeier, who was pulled up in the forward position in this game, penetrated the pulled out defense with a straight kick, and Keita successfully countered offside and scored again.

After 2:0, Leberniki was completely messed up, the manager lost control of the players on the field, the frontcourt players wanted to get back the score, the backfield players wanted to stabilize the defense first, the front and rear lineups were seriously disjointed, and Cabaye took advantage of the chaos to score a goal before midfield. At 3:0, the suspense was lost, and at half-time, the Lille team walked all the way back to the locker room with a smile and a smile.

There was jubilation in the dressing room, and Puel didn't stop it, the season has only just started, so there's no need to make the atmosphere too tense.

"That header is awesome!" Reeves didn't play, but he was happy with Forwegai's goal.

"I think so too!" Foweigai smiled and scored in the second game of the new season, which was a good start.

"My goals are much more handsome than yours, definitely a world wave!" The narcissistic Cabaye provoked a violent beating from one or two people.

"Reeves! How dare you hit me! "Cabaye yelled, trying to resist, but was eventually suppressed by Debich and Reeves, who rushed over to join in the excitement.

Coach Puel couldn't stand it anymore, coughed, and the four people who were in a mess immediately separated, each doing their own thing. Reeves was about to go for a glass of water when Cabaye, who had a hurt look on his face, pulled him and asked for a bet to get back face from Reeves, who was taking the lead.

The bet is the number of goals scored by the two in this game, the bet is to promise the other party anything, and the witness is the honest Foweigay.

Of course, Reeves agreed, why not bet on the bet that he will win, he will definitely play in the second half, the opponent is very weak, and he has been defeated, so it should not be difficult to score two goals.

Cabaye also felt that he was sure to win, and he was lucky today, when he ran into his first love when he went out, he left his contact information for himself, and when he came to the stadium, a blonde fan also stuffed a note with his contact information. After coming on the field, the wind was also very smooth, and he scored a long-range shot casually, and he felt that he could still score in the second half.

As for Reeves, Cabaye is not worried at all, this kid doesn't know when he will be able to play, and the away team must still be in the second half, in this case, Reeves, a ground striker, is useless, so he can only create set-pieces, but neither penalties nor free kicks will be his turn. It's different for me, in the face of the big bus formation, there must be a lot of opportunities to insert a long-range shot, and with today's luck, I will definitely be able to score.

As soon as he thought of this, Puel's voice rang out, "Okay, ready to play, Reeves replaces Foweguet, Oblagnac replaces Cabaye in front, and Bodemer retreats." This game was basically won, everyone saved some energy for the weekend's league, controlled the rhythm in the second half, practiced cooperation, and shot from a distance when there was a chance. ”

Ludovic Oblagnak, an attacking midfielder who moved from relegated Metz this season, was bought to strengthen the attacking quality of Lille's midfield. Taking advantage of the fact that the overall situation had been decided, Puel began to train his troops.

Cabaye couldn't listen to the manager's words, his mind was full of thoughts of being replaced, and the smile on his face froze, and he was replaced as soon as he finished the bet, which was too bad and he was going to lose again.

Reeves gloated and patted the depressed Cabaye: "Just wait to celebrate my goal!" Taking off his jacket and revealing the number 45 jersey inside, Reeves began to do a simple warm-up, and he didn't want to go up and get injured because of the lack of warm-up preparation.

The body is not in a hurry to do the warm-up movements, Reeves can't see a trace of nervousness on his face, but his heart is not as calm as his face, and he can play again, quite excited, this is a Champions League game! Well, it's just a Champions League qualifier; But this is the first time I've played at home! Well, in fact, the match was held in Paris due to the substandard stadium.

Reeves shook his head, trying to chase the clutter of thoughts out of his head. Anyway, if you play, why do you want to do so much, as long as you can play, he is a warrior, and he will hit the goal with all his might!

The second half began quickly, and the players on both sides had already taken their positions one after another, and the live camera gave a close-up of Reeves, who was replaced on the field.

"Oh, the fantastic youngster is on the field, Lebernicki have to be careful. Reeves has scored in every game in which he has been a substitute before, and it may be a continuation of his previous form. The commentator for Canal+ was still Dugarry, and when he saw Reeves on the field, he said with a smile.

The partner guest next to him, former French national Angeloma, expressed a different opinion, "Although the first two Lille youngster Reeves came off the bench to have a magical performance, but in this game I am not optimistic that he can score, the away team basically has no chance of winning, but must not want to return to Macedonia with a heavy defeat, after halftime adjustment, the coach of the Lebernici team must have unified the player's thinking, I think it should be full defense, if it is resolutely solid defense, Reeves This type of player is not like Foweig, he needs space, With a dense defence, he also has very limited space to move. ”

The whistle blew and the second half kicks off.
